dafiliandDaniel Salazar 0982e696a5 docs(install): explain how to install Docker instead of stopping at a dead end (#4411)
* docs(install): explain how to install Docker instead of a dead end

The installer stopped with 'missing required command: docker' and nothing
else, which left self-hosters on a clean machine with no next step. Since
Puter self-hosting is a Docker Compose stack, that check is also the very
first thing a new user hits.

Print the official install links for macOS/Windows and Linux plus the
'docker compose version' sanity check, and cover the same ground in
doc/self-hosting.md under Requirements and Troubleshooting.

The installer still does not install Docker itself — per the maintainer's
note on #4346, pulling a remote script into a system package manager is
too intrusive. This only makes the failure actionable.

* fix: remove extra sh stuff already merged
